Notes:1. Votes for characters not on the show were not counted. The place for those votes will be the next poll sometime after SDCC.

2. Ties. It is standard to list ties in alphabetical order. So that is what we did.

3. How these are numbered. If you have a tie for a slot, say #3, then there can be no #4, as the two who tied for #3 take up both slot 3 and slot 4. The next available number is 5.

4. Hal Jordan,Lobo. We know that the votes here are skewed downward because Mattel has said they cannot make them. People voted for them, so we are reporting them in the results. Rest assured that we and Mattel know the demand for these characters is higher than the results show.

5. Shazam. Shazam's showing here is again, not reflective of demand. The call for Shazam was muted by some feeling that he has already been promised to be shown at SDCC so they did not vote for him. Others voted for him because they were not willing to take the risk of him not being made. Based upon past polls, we expect that if everyone who wnats him had voted for him, Shazam would have been the #1 male hero and #1 or #2 in the Top Ten, only beaten by Cheetah.

Why an overall top ten?When we ran our first JLU poll, some folks got to the female hero section and listed them as "Fire, Ice, ... uhm". As if to say, "Who else is there?" Meanwhile, the votes for female villains were all filled in. This led me to believe that demand for female villains might be higher than that for female heroes. So for our second poll, I combined the categories. The idea was proven true as the female villains outstripped the female heroes in votes. So this concept, of who do we really want most needed to be applied on an overall basis. Hourman got a lot of votes in the male hero category. But do the collectors really want him, or was he just the only one left to pick? By offering fans the opportunity to mix heroes and villains, male and female, we get a better view of what the overall demand is.

I think there should be a note with Shazam as well that alot of people didn't vote for him because we expect to see him at SDCC, if we don't I'll scream! LOL. He's my number 1 and I didn't vote for him because I'm expecting to see him.
Otherwise I'm psyched about the results!

Well, I voted for Shazam exactly because he has not been confirmed. Question yes, Shazam no. I wasn't willing to take the risk, so I voted for him. No asterisk.

I think it's cool that S.T.R.I.P.E, Crimson Avenger and Speedy are all in the top 10. Shows that people are eager to get the 7 Soldiers team completed.

Also, although I would have liked to see them higher in the ranking, I was glad to see Batman Beyond and Old Bruce Wayne in the top twenty. I think these two need to be released together if the get made.

I assume this was directed at my comments regarding the titles of the shows. If that's the case, then I must point out that I am commenting the results. Specifically, the results to the last question on the poll. It needs to be clarified which show is meant by "The New Adventures of Batman and Robin," as there is no such such show in the Timm-verse. There are only "The Adventures of Batman and Robin" and "The New Batman Adventures."

Mattel has confused TNBA with "The Batman" in past communications with them, so if these results are to be shared with them, then I feel they need to be accurate.
